Fixes #6656
Description
This PR addresses a memory leak issue in the
ExpressionParserclass. Previously, theExpressionParserclass used aConcurrentDictionaryto cache parsed expressions, which could lead to excessive memory usage over time. This PR changes theExpressionParserclass to use anLRUCacheinstead, which has a maximum capacity and uses a least-recently-used policy to evict entries from the cache when the maximum capacity is reached. This change should help to mitigate the memory leak issue.Specific Changes
ExpressionParserclass to use anLRUCacheinstead of aConcurrentDictionaryfor caching parsed expressions.Testing
This change was tested using a console application that demonstrates the memory leak issue in
ExpressionParser:https://github.com/jamesemann/expression-parser-leak
